   Some possibilities which come to mind, that you may or may not have 
already tried:

  set the textColor of word 41 of fld "ticker tracker" to "green"
  set the textColor of word 3 of line 4 of fld "ticker tracker" to "green"
  set the textColor of char 21 to 33 of word 14 of fld "ticker tracker" to 
"green"
  set the textColor of char 145 to 156 of fld "ticker tracker" to "green"

   Hope this helps...
